Thorough'bred Is Bellaved to Be ns
Speedy ns Ormesdale.
The performance of Friar nock In the
whirl Stakes, which he won very easily
In record time, further complicates the
situation among 2-year-olds this year. Up
to Saturday Ormesdale looked the best
among the youngster, and even with
on Impost of 120 pounds ho got all the
support. Wnen It came to racing, how.
' h.e '8 B0 a'ly beaten by the sen
pr nock Sand that many are of the opin
ion that Friar Rock can beat Ormesdale
at even weights. This will be proved
during the meeting at the Spa. The same
horses that raced In the Whirl will meet
again during August and under different
conditions.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
BEGINS AT SHAWNEE
Players Tee Off This Morning
in Annual Invitation Meet
ing. SHAWNEE-ON-DELAWARE, July 22.
Tho first of tho early cards better than
90 was an SS, returned by Schwlnn
Worthton, Corkran, Parrlsh and Calvert
were alt expected to make a strong bid
for the medal.
When half the field had made the
round the only cards better than 80 were
"9's, returned by the Corkran brothers,
Warren and Clark. Warren had two
sixes on his card, but to ortaet these the
former Princeton golfer worked In nf
less than four threes. His card read this
way:
B. Warren Corkran, Baltimore
Out 4 6 4 5 5 B 3 3 4-33
In 6 5 3 5 6 4 3 5 44079
The younger member ot this golfing
family did his best playing going out, the
turn being reached In 33. A six at the
long tenth, t another at the 17th and a
missed putton the home green accounted
for his 41 coming back. His card:
Clark Corkran
Out 4 4 5 4 5 4 4 3 5-33
In 6 4 4 5 5 4 3 6 4-41-79
Piatt found a number of traps that he
didn't believe existed. Where he dropped
badly was nt tho short eighth hole, only
105 yards long.
Getting bunkered on his tee shot and
taking two to get clear of the sand, the
Ridgewood man took six for this hole.
He was out In 45 and back In 42 for a 77.
The same score was returned by Allen,
while his partner, Calvert, had 88. Both
cot In trouble at the brook from the first
tee and took seven. Worthlngton had a
string of fine holes, but two or threo bad
ones ran UP n's score, which at tho end
totaled if,.
Parrlsh declared he never saw a course
where one had to keep playing so hard
at every hole.
"No chance to rest," was his observa
tion. Parrlsh made an 86.
One golfer, who had been dreamng of
the dreaded blnnlekill, or water hole,
came In happy. "I got over the creek,"
was his gleeful shout as he approached
the restful "19th hole."
"What was your socro for the round7"
asked a friend.
"Oh, plenty, but never mind. I cleared
the creek, came the rejoinder.
Just when every one had considered
that the Corkran brothers were the best,
S. Scammell, of Trenton, came In with a
79, thereby getting Into a triple tie for
the medal. His card:
Out 4 4 5 5 4 5 6 3 5-41
In 5 4 4 5 4 4 4 5 3-38-79

REYNOLDS HAD CHANCE
TO WORK OUT BRITTON
Refuses Morgan's Offer to
Train Chicagoan for Dundee
Fight Because of Local Bout.
As Bobby Reynolds, of this city, Is
booked to box at a local club tomorrow
night, he was forced to turn down a good
offer the early part of the week to assist
In the conditioning of Jack Brltton for his
match with Jumping Johnny Dundee at
the Madison Square Garden, New York,
tonight a week.
Danny Morgan wired the clever local
lightweight to Join Brltton's stable of
sparring partners, but as Bobby was
anxious to be In the beat of shape for
his return appearance here with Buck
Fleming at the Ludlow A. C, he decided
to remain home and finish training for
his own bout.
Inasmuch as Reynolds and Dundee de
pend on the same style of boxing. Bob
would have been of great assistance to
Brltton. Then again Bobby gave Dun
dee one of the hardest battles seen In
this city. With the knowledge of the
Italian's methods In the ring, Reynolds
could spar against Brltton a la Dundee.
In that way Jack would be prepared for
the cunning tricks of Johnny.

TRAPSHOOT WITH BOTH EYES OPEN
IS ADVICE TO NOVICES BY EXPEBT
If a Gunner Ie Possessed of a Pair of tiomal Eyes, Undoubtedly
tho Proper Way Is to Keep Optics Focused on fafgpt
in Natural Manner.
As to whether It ts better to trapihbot
with both eyes open or to shut th eye
not directly concerned with the sighting
teems to be a source of considerable
worry to some shooters, especially begin
ners. If a shooter Is possesiM of a pair of
normal eyes, undoubtedly the proper way
to sight a shotgun Is to keep both eyes
wide open and focused on the target In a
natural and easy manner. The advan
tages of sighting In this way aro a clear
view of the entire field, Including that
part which would be otherwise cut off
by tho gun barrels, and freedom from
the eye strain which results from any un
usual use ot the eyes.
It Is advisable for all new shooters to
learn to shoot with both eyes open, un
lets some actual optical defect makes
It Impossible. Older men, who have been
shooting for a great many years with one
eye sighting, will find some difficulty In
changing, as constant practice will have
crystallized Into a second nature the habit
of closing one eye. A point to be con
sidered, however. Is that you have noth
ing to lose by test, as It Is easy enough
to go back to the old system again, if
necessary.
One of Newton's laws says that ac
tion nnd reaction are always equal and
In opposite directions, which explains
why firearms from the gentle .22 rifle
to the muscle-pounding wild-fowl gun
have a tendency to move In the direc
tion of the shooter's shoulder.
If a rifle, shotgun or revolver were aupr
ported directly In line with the axis ot
the bore, the barret would recoil straight
back and would have no excuse for
Jumping upwards. Revolvers Jump worse
than other firearms because their load Is
heavier In proportion to their weight,
and their support Is relatively so much
farther below the axis of the bore.
Many sportsmen are under the Im
pression that this Jump of a revolver
barrel causes the bullet to fly wild and
leads to the oft repeated statement by the
fairly good rifle shot that he can't shoot
a pistol because he Isn't able to hold the
pistol tight enough to keep It from Jump
ing and so spoiling his aim.
Now, In the first place, there Isn't a
man living who can hold a large calibre
revolver so that it will not Jump, and
In the second place, the effect of Jump
on the flight of the bullet Is small and
Is n constant quantity which has been
compensated for when the sights are put
on In the factory. Therefore, if a man
gives this excuse for poor plstpt point
UMPIRES HAVING JOUGH WORK UNDER
PRESENT EXCITING CONDITIONS
By GRANTLAND RICE
Verse Revisions
(If H. VT. L. had been an umpire In the
.first place.)
Tell me nof ftt mourntil numbers
That the Ump's life Is a drtam;
For the Ump is dead that slumbers
IWille an Evtra guards the team.
Strife (a real, strife Is earnest,
And the grave s soon our pool;
Cussed thou art, to cuss returnest,
Stands the token, of our role.
In the game's broad field of battle.
In the bivouac and strife,
What are too out driven cattle,
Branded with the vocal knlfet
Lives of umpire oft remind us
We must sprint to beat the band.
Or, departing, leave behind us
Pools of gore upon the sand.
A close race t's a grand little episode
for every part and parcel of baseball,
save one. You hear no umpire giving
three maudlin cheers because six or ttvtn
clubs In one circuit figure they have a
keen shot at the flag, plus their share
of a world's series split.
Where so many clubs are so tightly
wedged Into the same spsce, each run ot
each game assumes unusual Importance.
And so each close decision carries extra
value. For not only Is the race close, but
most of the games fought are closer than
usual, as there has been on abnormal
output of one-run decisions. An umpire'
life la not one of the toftest upon this
planet, even when conditions are favor
able. As conditions now are In the
National League, St. Peter might well
say to each umplrlcal applicant for a
golden harp:
"Come In, poor soul, you've had your
hell on earth."

Inform me U there Is any acid or chstal
cal I could put in the barret to eat th
lead out and hot injure the rifling? If so,
what Is It and how long should It stand
In the barrel?
Ahs. Lead offers a very high wtleUh
to the chemical action of the various acids
and stkallt. It Is extensively used In
Various manufactures because of this fact
There are, of course, several different
chemicals which will affect letd. but Un
fortunately all of the cherrtlcaU which will
affect lead will affect in a much greater
degree the Iron or tteel ot the barrel. The
best way to remove lead is to use a bre
brittle brush. Brass Is totter than th
Iron or tteel of the barrel and cannot
harm It. but It It much harder than the
lead, and scrubbing the barrel with ft.
bratt brush will cut out the lead without
harming the barrel.

We notice where a German war gov
ernor has forbidden Belgians to fight for
their country. McQraw, Robertson, Bres
nahan and Stalllngs would like to adopt
the same system and forbid Alexander
pitching any further games for the
Phillies.
It's a great little system it you can put
It through.
For Future Internationals
Dear Sir: I notice where an American
sports writer has brought up the matter
of England's sporting decadence alter
this war Is over. He assumes the belief
that by losing so many ot her best men
she will be at a loss to refill these gaps.
On the other side of th matter. England
will have put two million Into the field
at hard training, where molt of them
knew but little of outdoor life In any
general sense. This war will develop,
rather than retard, her athletic resources,
and I hardly think that America will
have to wait tor any long period after
peace Is declared to find England ready
again to take up her share- ot Interno
Uonal play. H. H. V., Jr.

The Braves started their upward march
In 1315 around the same part of July that
the justly renowned UK drive begun. It
was on the second Western trip that
Stalling' men developed their flag-winning
power, and It will be on the second
Western trip that pennant chances for
!91S mutt b considered.
Even with a rickety start the Braves
are no further way today than they were
a year ago. Hardly as far back, lp fact
And they still have the pleasant memory
of that drive to .keep them fighting, which
shows how one good habit can help de
velop another. There Is unusual Interest
ahead in observing Brave actions theeo
next two weeks to see -whether or not th"
human system Is capable of housing two
such uplifts In successive years.
